About me

Hi, I’m DM Kaellie C, a professional Dungeon Master with over 30 years of experience in theater, improvisation, and RPGs. I began DMing in 2020, and quickly fell in love with it. Since then, I’ve been running multiple games a week, both at my local game store, at conventions, and online. My players enjoy the energy I bring to the characters, plus the custom maps and Syrinscape music that make the world feel alive. I focus on creating immersive experiences where everyone gets to be part of the story. I can't wait to have you at my table and embark on some unforgettable adventures together!

GM Style

I’m definitely more of a collaborative storyteller than a “board-game” DM. My games focus on roleplay and giving players the freedom to shape the story how they see fit. You’ll have all the time and space to figure things out your way, and I’ll only step in if you ask for a little nudge. I prefer keeping “gamespeak” to a minimum and encourage you to fully immerse yourself in the world we’re building together. My combats are tough and exciting, but I always make sure there’s a reason behind every fight. Whether it’s a monster or an NPC, I focus on their motivations, so the battle isn’t just a challenge—it’s tied to the story. Every encounter has a purpose, making the fight feel meaningful and connected to the narrative. I’m all about Rule of Cool if you come up with something creative, but if it’s an Adventurers League adventure, I’ll stick to the rules. Most of my players keep coming back for more, and I’d love for you to join them!

I'm having so much fun playing with Kaellie! The suspense and immersion are a delight to the senses. They manage to walk on just this edge of the line pushing me to test my boundaries while making sure the table is a safe space to explore being vulnerable. I am looking forward to playing at their table many more times.

They are very patient and absolutely wonderful! I had no idea how to use roll 20 and they helped me every step of the way! Made my first ever online session very enjoyable!!!

I'm extremely choosey about what DM's I'll play with. I'm mostly a DM myself and I don't play much, so when I do, I need that experience to be spectacular. Well, I've been playing at Kallie's table multiple times a month for half a year now. I don't know how to give higher praise than that. Kaellie gives space for players to roam and roleplay and for stories and characters to develop and breathe. If you want a crunchy game, this is not the right DM, but if care about the roleplaying part of ropleplaying games, you won't find better.

Guided us though a intensive Epic with nice reminders on the rules. Handled the stress and numerous hordes of enemies well.

Played 2 sessions

Kaellie was so welcoming and fun. A friend of mine played his first ever DnD experience last night with Kaellie as our GM. She was patient and informative as well as funny and entertaining. She embraced our creativity and added her own flare to play off. Highly recommend playing a campaign with Kaellie if you like fun times with good vibes.
